Poll question: What IM client do you use most?
actually, I'm asking what network. So if you use trillian, what connection do you talk to the most people on?

2. AIM via Trillian.
Edited on Thu Aug-26-04 10:26 AM by aden_nak
AIM, primarily, but that's only because so many people i know are on it. My client, of course, is http://www.trillian.cc"">Trillian. Because sometimes I need AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ and IRC all at once.

4. Lotus Sametime (at Work)
It uses a shitload of PC resources and takes an eternity to boot up.

12. You might want to consider TrillianPro and the Sametime plug-in, then n/t
I'm running the TrillianPro Sametime plug-in, and it works great. It doesn't provide desktop collaboration -- just IMing -- but it adds logging of IM sessions.

7. I use them all...
Not really one I use more often because I have friends on all of them. Trillian is a godsend. :)

8. TrillianPro, connected to 'em all... AIM,ICQ,MSN,Yahoo,Sametime
All IM-ing is done through Trillian. As for IM *services*, we use the Sametime IM service at work, so that predominates 8-5, but my "buddies" are mostly spread over AIM & MSN off-hours.

Trillian rocks.

15. I use AIM, Yahoo and MSN.
I should consolidate them with Trillian or something like that, shouldn't I?
